Aeblekage Bread Crumbs
For Christmas, we have aeblekage with an almond hidden in it. Whoever finds the almond wins a prize. Since our family is large, we usually have a kids' aeblekage and an adults' aeblekage. The original Danish tradition uses rice pudding, but not very many people like it in our family.
1 1/2 C corn flake crumbs or bread crumbs
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C margarine or butter, melted
Mix crumbs and sugar together in a bowl. Melt butter in saucepan. Then add crumbs-sugar mixture to the saucepan. Heat until it turns brown. Watch carefully because it can burn easily. Once brown, take saucepan off of the heat. The crumbs will turn crunchy as it cools.
Use the crumbs as layers in between applesauce. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or plain. Before bringing it to the table, hide the almond (or two if you need to) to see who gets the prize.
Note: Have enough prizes for the amount of almonds. Also, to keep family members from bringing their own almond, think about changing the nut every so often. :D
Update: After making these for the first time, I have a few helpful updates. When the recipes says, "take saucepan off the heat" it should read, remove crumbs from heat and pan. If you leave the crumbs in the pan, they will continue to cook and burn. Also, if you are making a large amount (i.e. 3 times the recipe), do it in batches. :D
